Isaiah 21
1 The burden of the desert of the sea. As whirlwinds in the south pass through; so it cometh from the desert, from a terrible land.
Breme pustinji na moru. Kao vihori koji prolaze na jug, tako æe doæi iz pustinje, iz zemlje strašne.
2 A grievous vision is declared unto me; the treacherous dealer dealeth treacherously, and the spoiler spoileth. Go up, O Elam: besiege, O Media; all the sighing thereof have I made to cease.
Ljuta utvara javi mi se. Nevjernik nevjeru èini, pustošnik pustoši; hodi, Elame; opkoli, Midijo! svemu uzdisanju uèiniæu kraj.
3 Therefore are my loins filled with pain: pangs have taken hold upon me, as the pangs of a woman that travaileth: I was bowed down at the hearing of it; I was dismayed at the seeing of it.
Zato su bedra moja puna bola; muke me obuzeše kao kad se muèi porodilja; zgurih se èujuæi, prepadoh se videæi.
4 My heart panted, fearfulness affrighted me: the night of my pleasure hath he turned into fear unto me.
Srce mi se smete, groza me poduze; noæ milina mojih pretvori mi se u strah.
5 Prepare the table, watch in the watchtower, eat, drink: arise, ye princes, and anoint the shield.
Postavi sto, stražar neka straži; jedi, pij; ustajte knezovi, mažite štitove.
6 For thus hath the Lord said unto me, Go, set a watchman, let him declare what he seeth.
Jer ovako mi reèe Gospod: idi, postavi stražara da ti javi što vidi.
7 And he saw a chariot with a couple of horsemen, a chariot of donkeys, and a chariot of camels; and he hearkened diligently with much heed:
I vidje kola, i dva reda konjika; kola s magarcima i kola s kamilama; i pažaše dobro velikom pažnjom.
8 And he cried, A lion: My lord, I stand continually upon the watchtower in the daytime, and I am set in my ward whole nights:
I povika kao lav: gospodaru, ja stojim jednako na straži danju, i stojim na straži po svu noæ.
9 And, behold, here cometh a chariot of men, with a couple of horsemen. And he answered and said, Babylon is fallen, is fallen; and all the graven images of her gods he hath broken unto the ground.
I evo doðoše na kolima ljudi, u dva reda konjici. Tada povika i reèe: pade, pade Vavilon, i svi rezani likovi bogova njegovijeh razbiše se o zemlju.
10 O my threshing, and the grain of my floor: that which I have heard of Yhwh of Armies, the God of Israel, have I declared unto you.
Vršaju moj, i pšenice gumna mojega! što èuh od Gospoda nad vojskama, Boga Izrailjeva, javih vam.
11 The burden of Dumah. He calleth to me out of Seir, Watchman, what of the night? Watchman, what of the night?
Breme Dumi. Vièe k meni neko sa Sira: stražaru! šta bi noæas? stražaru! šta bi noæas?
12 The watchman said, The morning cometh, and also the night: if ye will enquire, enquire ye: return, come.
Stražar reèe: doæi æe jutro, ali i noæ; ako æete tražiti, tražite, vratite se, doðite.
13 The burden upon Arabia. In the forest in Arabia shall ye lodge, O ye travelling companies of Dedanim.
Breme Arapskoj. Po šumama u Arapskoj noæivaæete, putnici Dedanski!
14 The inhabitants of the land of Tema brought water to him that was thirsty, they did meet with their bread him that fled.
Iznesite vode pred žedne, koji živite u zemlji Temi, sretite s hljebom bjegunca.
15 For they fled from the swords, from the drawn sword, and from the bent bow, and from the grievousness of war.
Jer æe bježati od maèa, od maèa gologa, od luka zapetoga i od žestokoga boja.
16 For thus hath the Lord said unto me, Within a year, according to the years of an hireling, and all the glory of Kedar shall fail:
Jer ovako mi reèe Gospod: za godinu, kao što je godina najamnièka, nestaæe sve slave Kidarske.
17 And the residue of the number of archers, the mighty men of the children of Kedar, shall be diminished: for Yhwh God of Israel hath spoken it.
I što ostane hrabrijeh strijelaca sinova Kidarskih, biæe malo; jer Gospod Bog Izrailjev reèe.
